Carl Pavano Shuts Out Orioles To Earn Fifth Complete Game Of Season, Twins Win 5-0

One season removed from a 5-plus earned run average while toiling in Cleveland, Pavano (12-6) now holds a 3.26 ERA and worked his fourth complete game in his last seven starts. The right-hander scattered five hits and one walk around four strikeouts.

Cuddyer deposited a ball into the left-field seats in the fourth for a 4-0 edge and a wild -- and argumentative -- top of the seventh opened a five-run edge.
